Just love when you find someone selling fresh scallops on the side of the road! I was driving past it when I read ‘Scallops’! One big U-turn later and here we are.

This recipes is simple and delicious! The only thing you have to remember is not to over cook your scallops, just make sure your pan is hot before you start. that will give it a nice crust quickly without overcooking.

These scallops are then quickly bathed in this delicious mushroom enhanced cream sauce thanks to our 'Porcini BBQ Genie' spice blend. It adds a beautiful flavour with no effort.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

25 minutes

Ingredients

1 lbs Scallops, dried
1 tbsp Corn starch
2 tbsp oil, plus extra if needed
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp Porcini BBQ Genie spice blend
1/2 cup white wine
1 lemon, zested
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp Capers, drained
1/2 cup heavy cream
lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Pat scallops dry. In a large bowl, toss with cornstarch.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp of the oil. Once the oil is nice and hot, place the scallops in the pan. Make sure the pan is hot, if you don’t hear a sizzle, wait longer. Careful not to overcrowd the pan, if you have to do in two batches so be it. Allow to sear for 1-2 minutes and flip for another 1-2 minutes. Get a nice brown on both sides, but don’t overcook them. Nobody wants that. Remove them one by one to a paper towel lined plate.
Turn the heat down to a medium heat. Add the garlic and Porcini BBQ Genie spice blend. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring.
Crash the party with the white wine, scrapping up any yummy bits. Bring to a simmer for about 1 minute.
Stir in the lemon zest, capers and cream. Let simmer for another minute.
Off heat, stir in the butter until melted. Add the scallops back to the pan, covering and tossing them gently in the sauce.
This is delicious served over some rice! Garnish with a lemon wedge.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!

My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!

These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend

I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto

Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Happy It’s Back!!

We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.

Best Taco Blend!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.

On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
